BLUMENKOHL 1,070 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Because it is. In fact tracks like: Solar Sailer, Outlands, C.L.U, Disc Wars, Son of Flynn, Armory and Recognizer have broken into play count territory dominated by tracks that have been in my iTunes library for 8+ years. In less than two years. I don't think there's been a more enjoyable and listenable score in quite some time. It fits every season, every situation. Be it driving to "Outlands" or enjoying a relaxing sunset with "Solar Sailer." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Its highlights are rather enjoyable indeed, but there are still moments in the score that I couldn't find myself loving. It's a decent score overall, but there have been certainly been more enjoyable scores in the last 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Holdo 16 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 It's a fantastic score, totally appropriate for the movie and even adds something to it. Surprisingly rare feat these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I would prescribe a listen to TRON Legacy Reconfiguredhttp://www.amazon.com/Tron-Legacy-Reconfigured-Various-Artists/dp/B004M20YDUwhich has some glitzy remixes by the likes of Moby, Oakenfold and Sander Kleinenberg. Cues like SON OF FLYNN, C. P. U. or END OF LINE get a good electronic workout and come without the heavy RCP sound that plagued a portion of the soundtrack.

Quintus 5,399 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 It has one brilliant cue (which has been sourced pretty much none-stop by tv promos and commercials the past year) and a couple of really good ones. In all, a decent listen and a better than normal film score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,067 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Bought the album when it came out, but listened to it only a couple of times. I actully liked the electronica bits, but the orchestral parts sounded all too familiar. I hoped they would merge the two in an interesting ways, but, for the most part, it's one thing or the other. Which is a wasted opportunity. It's a fairly pleasant album, but not terribly exciting or novel.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,631 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I'd say your more of an electronic/ "ambiance" music fan than a thematic symphonic music score fan.

Datameister 2,096 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I think it's an extremely effective score, both in the film and as a standalone listening experience. I have doubts about Daft Punk's ability to ever write another film score that sounds substantially different, but that doesn't make TRON: Legacy any less enjoyable. I think it's a very successful marriage of orchestra and electronics, much more successful than a lot of Zimmer's work, despite the significant similarities.

Wojo 2,453 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I think it's a wonderful score, both on screen and on album. It's one of those rare film scores that manages to appeal to both the film score community as well as more mainstream society. It conveys emotion through use of theme and dramatic music just fine without being wholly symphonic, and demonstrates that an album of largely electronic music can be thematic. If I was driving or hosting people who I knew wouldn't get into listening to Star Wars or Hook, but I didn't want to go the total route of rock or pop, I'd spin up Tron: Legacy and see where the conversations went.I don't know if it's also my most listened to soundtrack of the last two years, but I know it's up there. It has replaced How to Train Your Dragon in what I listen to a lot, and I didn't think that would happen. BLUMENKOHL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
